Sightseeing and Excursions

Sightseeing and excursions to the splendid lush and green sites around the central Ethiopia are dominated by exotic natural beauty. The Ethiopian Rift Valley Lakes region is Africa’s natural marvels; a land of many alkaline lakes with the abundance of stunning bird life and sheer greenery with magnificent mountain ranges loomed on the horizon, while the northern central Ethiopia offers you stunning gorges carved their way deep into the earth forming dazzling escarpments, along with the near by grassy plateau and mountain picks some of which with spectacular view down to the Rift Valley.
Just 225 kilometres east of Addis Ababa, Awash National Park is Ethiopia’s oldest park rich in wildlife and birdlife. The Tiya Stelae, 88 km south of Addis, have been declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The near by Palaeolithic site in Ethiopia Melka Kunture consists of stunning exhibits on prehistoric Africa, geology and volcano logy and on pale anthropology. The state forest of Menagesha and Crater Lake Wenchi are scenic natural marvels for a day out escape from Addis Ababa.
